What are we watching these days?

I usually binge-watch certain shows on Saturday, so since you said what you did, I will wait until then to finish off this show.

I did watch Mobland when it started, but like Ric, I simply cannot watch shows that need to recall characters, events, et al, once a week. I need more than a 30-second synopsis, so I wait until the entire series has played and then watch. I think I watched 2 or 3 episodes, but now I will have to start all over and watch. I did enjoy what I had seen so I know I will enjoy the entire series.

It was great, Tom Hardy is excellent in the role! It finished up this past weekend!

We were talking about Friends and Neighbors, well it seems like they love John Hamm and there will be a season 2.

I finished Mr. Inbetween and I've found another old show to watch, Las Vegas.  I'm almost halfway through season 1 and I think it will be a keeper.  It is a very different kind of role for James Caan.  I only like to watch shows that are done & dusted.

Another good watch that I have watched twice is a mini-series based on a John LeCarre book, The Night Manager.  It streams for "free" on Amazon Prime and has a good cast including Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Tom Hollander.  Supposedly there will be a second season and even a third season coming.


There is a different version, which I haven't seen, on Hulu but it's a foreign language adaptation, I think Indian, with subtitles.  I may watch it, I haven't decided.

I finished "The Residence" (Netflix) last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't think I'd like it. An Agatha Christie type murder mystery, with the setting at the White House. You are introduced to all the potential murderers as well as all the potential weapons used for the murder...just like in the game of Clue. I learned more about how the White House operates (outside of politics) than I could ever have imagined. The props were amazing, and better than an actual tour of the White House. Synopsis: 132 rooms, dozens of suspects (each with a sordid little secret they don't want known (sexual infidelity, alcoholism, kleptomania, mental issues/insanity, egomania, etc.), so virtually everyone lies to cover their own issues...1 dead body, 1 wildly eccentric detective, and 1 disastrous State Dinner

The master detective, Cordelia Cupp (an amazing performance by Uzo Aduba), did not know who the killer was herself, and it wasn't revealed to her until she got the script, just before the last episode...although, the killer was informed from the get-go

Highly entertaining, and even educational considering I was able to gain considerable knowledge of the workings within the White House, it's rooms, secret doors and stairways, etc. I would have to say that this show was amazing from start to finish, with a dash of humor, without it being a comedy...and the bombshell at the end was edge-of-the-seat great
